20 x 24 x 1.5 Mixed Media on Gallery Wrapped Canvas portrait of Beatrix Potter painted by Lea Craigie-Marshall from her art show ‘Powerful Beauties: Heroines, Historic Women, and Survivors.’

Helen Beatrix Potter was an English writer, illustrator, natural scientist, and conservationist best known for her children’s books featuring animals, such as The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Born into an upper-middle-class household, Potter was educated by governesses and grew up isolated from other children. This experience was the foundation of the many acclaimed children’s books she’d write in the future.

Beatrix Potter Quotes: “Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were – Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter.”

“It is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is ‘soporific’.”

“Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality.”
